Thunar Icon Scaling and Padding

I'm running xfce in X on Arch Linux. This issue started with the update to xfce 4.20.

My issue is Thunar horizontal icon side padding.
Is there a way to adjust the side padding?
I'd like to restore it to before the update if possible.

Currently installed xfce component versions:

Before update:

After update:

If I scale up/down the icon size using [Ctrl]+[mouse wheel], there's a single big jump in side padding space rather than padding scaling with each icon size.

EDIT: This icon padding/scaling issue is the same in both X11 and labwc + wayland.

EDIT: Added later 22 h 18 min 16 s:
Thought I'd look into filing a bug and seems someone beat me to it...
